I love doing a simple DIY project and this painted arch was so easy to do!

This painted arch is a fun and easy DIY project that adds a lot of dimension to a space.

This big empty wall in our living room needed something. I have been wanting to put a big piece of artwork up here for so long. See more of my thoughts HERE.

Big pieces of art can get pricey, so I came up with this plan to paint an arch on the wall after I had found this beautiful piece of art. The art is only 20”x20” so I knew it wouldn’t take up enough wall space and would look pretty out of scale hanging above the couch with nothing else.

SUPPLIES:

• Paint (I used Valspar’s Cream in my Coffee)

• Pencil

DIRECTIONS:

1. Decide on the width of the arch, find the center and mark with a pencil

2. Measure the width all the way up the wall to the point where you want the curved part of the arch to start and mark with a pencil

3. Connect the dotted lines and check with a level to make sure they are even

4. Use painters tape along the drawn line and check again with a level to make sure they are even

5. I free handed the arch and just kept standing back to tweak it. I am also not a perfectionist so I was ok with this method! You could trace something with a curve or make a template out of a cardboard box!

6. Start cutting in with the angled brush and paint the entire arch

7. Allow to dry and apply a 2nd coat

8. Remove the painters tape and do any touch ups needed along the sides or on the curve of the arch. It’s easier to do touch ups when it’s all done to make sure it is all even. I also used the wall color paint to do touch ups, if I felt I went too outside the lines for the arch

This project really was simple, but made such an impact on this bare wall. I love how it turned out and added so much dimension and texture to the space!
